buffaBLOG's 12 Days of Christmas: Day 7 - Jimi Hendrix


Jimi Hendrix is famous for his hits like “Foxy Lady” and “Purple Haze,” but he is equally as famous for his covers like “All Along the Watchtower” and his instrumental take on “The Star Spangled Banner” at Woodstock.

Hendrix would again turn to his guitar to do all of the work for a cover with his rendition of “Little Drummer Boy.” This song appears with his covers of other Christmas classics on the album Merry Christmas & Happy New Year.

While Bruce Springsteen's cover of "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" fit's right in with all of the other Christmas songs on the radio, Hendrix's will stand out for its distorted guitar which is something not usually found in a traditional Christmas song. This is one of the only song's to help get you in the mood for a psychedelic Christmas.
